Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 740 Confrontation
The armies of An Lushan and Shi Siming soon arrived in Changzhou County.

The imperial army has already received the news one step ahead and is ready to meet the enemy.

Before the army confronted each other under the city, the two sides had already had several small confrontations, including but not limited to burning food and grass, attacking camps in the middle of the night, stabbing generals, and sowing dissension.These small confrontations were more or less useful. When the An Lushan army came to the city of Changzhou, there were already two troops missing in the team. They were sent by King Guangping, Gao Xianzhi, and Feng Changqing. It is a clear proof that the lobbyist has made a contribution.

With Xuanzong's "sacred driver" here, some generals who had been deceived by An Lushan's lies found their way back, and successfully avoided his attention, led the troops to leave, and were no longer part of the rebel army.An Lushan was furious, but there was nothing he could do.He did send someone to hunt down the "traitor", and he even hired an "immortal elder" to make things go smoothly. However, there is no shortage of "immortal elders" on King Guangping's side. With a general as a bodyguard, naturally there will be no mistakes.

But as soon as this incident happened, Anlu Mountain also knew that there were also monks assisting the imperial army.What I thought was a sure thing, has become less certain.

An Lushan also learned the news of Xuanzong Yujia's personal expedition from various scouts, and one of the scouts even saw Yang Guifei and Gao Lishi.He had seen the latter, and he felt that the beauty of the former was definitely not a fake that he found casually, and he became more and more convinced that it was the real master, not the fake person that his commander said.The scout reported the news to An Lushan, and he was originally loyal, but An Lushan was furious and ordered someone to pull him out and chop him up, accusing him of ulterior motives and deliberately disrupting the morale of the army.

However, when the controversy over genuine and fake goods came to the battlefield, when Xuanzong and Concubine Yang appeared at the top of the city, accompanied by Gao Lishi and Gong'e, no one brought it up again.

Many of An Lushan's generals had gone to Beijing to meet the saints, saw the beauty of the noble concubine, and even received rewards from Gao Lishi.Xuanzong said some more favors and rewards to all of them in the past on the top of the city. Some of the words were not even said in public, but they were all righteous.An Lushan previously claimed that Xuanzong was killed by the prince, and now the prince has sent a fake to deceive people... This kind of rhetoric is no longer tenable.

Xuanzong looked angry again, reprimanded An Lushan on the top of the city, and ordered him to roll into the city to defend himself.If An Lushan does not follow suit, then stop using the banner of loyalty to deceive the people of the world.

An Lushan had objected a long time ago, although now he believed that Xuanzong was not a fake, he did not give up his plan to raise troops to rebel against Tang.He just felt that the "immortal elders" who supported him were too unreliable. Didn't they mean that the emperor had been dealt with?How can the emperor run to the battlefield to expose his face now? !

Dong Zhenren couldn't understand An Lushan very much, he ignored his questioning and complaints, and let his disciples argue with those evil ways and each other.He just looked at the most conspicuous people on the front wall. Xuanzong and the imperial concubine were not important, and Gao Lishi and Gong'e were even more insignificant. What he cared about most was Li Er who had been standing beside King Guangping with the invisibility spell. With Li Yu.

Obviously, these two people were still from Li Tang's clan after all. Without the restraint of Li Neng's ancestor, they completely sided with Li Tang's royal family.Xuanzong, who has become a puppet, can speak and walk well, it must be Li Yu who is playing tricks behind his back.If he wanted to expose this lie, he only needed to kill Li Yu.As for Li Yi, although he has already established his foundation, his cultivation is only in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and he is far from his opponent.If the Li Tang royal family wanted to rely on Li Yi to deal with themselves, it was simply a daydream.

If it was Li Yuanke, Li Er's master, who came out, it would be fine.However, Li Yuanke has gone mad and was exiled to the South China Sea by Patriarch Li Neng, and there is no possibility of coming back to make an enemy of him.He only needs to get rid of Li Er, and the army of Li Tang court will become a chicken and a dog, vulnerable to a single blow.

Therefore, Dong Zhenren didn't care what his disciples and accomplices were arguing with An Lushan, and just cast the spell on his own, and released the talisman he had prepared in advance towards the sky.All of a sudden, the wind was raging, the sky was dark, and the sand and stones were flying, as if something terrible was about to hit Changzhou City.

Seeing this, King Guangping couldn't help frowning: "What is this?"

Li Er said comfortingly behind him: "It's okay, it's Dong Zhenren who is casting the spell, and it looks like he intends to attract thunder."

King Guangping was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Li Yu: "Just in case, let the emperor's grandfather and noble concubine enter the room for a while?"

Li Yu had just manipulated Xuanzong to scold An Lushan for a long time, accusing him of being a rebellious minister and traitor, ungrateful, and questioning whether those rebellious soldiers were really determined to go all the way to the dark?Don't they plan to be citizens of Tang Dynasty?Don't care about your parents?If you don't want to become a sinner through the ages, you should immediately leave the ranks of An Shi's rebels, otherwise don't blame the court's army for being unforgiving, and so on.Li Yu was in the middle of cursing, when he suddenly heard King Guangping's words, he felt unsatisfied, thinking that even if a thunderbolt struck Xuanzong, it would not affect his control over him, why bother?

However, Li Lijun had already picked up the responsibility of her maid, and supported Concubine Yang down the wall, and went indoors to avoid lightning.Gao Lishi also helped Xuanzong leave.Li Yu could only manipulate Xuanzong, pretending that he didn't want to leave, but wanted to continue scolding, and after a few more curses, he followed these mortals into the house.He will not participate in the battle between the two armies, he will only stick to Xuanzong's side to ensure that there is no sneak attack from evil ways, and he is extremely unwilling.Standing incognito at the door, the resentment on his body almost radiated.Gao Lishi carefully poured Xuanzong a cup of tea and asked Concubine Yang to help him drink it. He was worried that his old saint's voice might be broken, but he didn't dare to complain to the "immortal elder".

On the top of the city, Li Yi stood beside King Guangping, threw out two giant lightning rods that Li Lijun had made in advance, and placed them on both sides of the city gate near the city wall.With these two lightning rods, even if a huge thunder falls from the sky, the thunder will be led away by the lightning rods and will not hit the city.

As for Li Lijun, not long after he got down from the top of the city, he ran back incognito, and launched two attacks towards the sky with the ice jade sword in his hand.The originally turbulent sky suddenly calmed down a lot, and the clouds slowly dispersed, revealing the sunlight behind the clouds again.

Seeing this, Dong Zhenren frowned, took out another red flag, threw it into the air and raised it a few times, then a gray-black gas overflowed from the flag, was swept by the wind, and hit the top of the city .

Li Er said in a low voice: "No! This is poisonous plague gas! It turns out that the poisonous banner fell into his hands!"

King Guangping felt bad when he heard it, and quickly ordered his soldiers to send a message to the two generals Gao and Feng, asking them to order their soldiers to stay away from the gray gas, so as not to fall ill from poisoning.

Li Lijun was very calm, took out a few talismans and shot them into the sky.

What about poisonous gas?As long as it is air pollution caused by chemical plant explosions, stop the wind first to prevent the spread of poisonous gas, and then rain heavily to let the toxins fall to the ground.It is best to control the poisonous rain within the range of Anshi's army, and let the enemy suffer on their own.Several deep ditches were rolled out on the ground to prevent the turbulent flow of poisonous water.As for the issue of environmental pollution afterwards... let's talk about it later.
